Sec. 25-282. Special fund.

If no claim has been made by the owner of any motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer removed and sold under the provisions of this division for the proceeds of such sale, after the payment of the cost of administering this division, the funds shall be deposited in a special fund established by the city for this purpose. Any such owner shall be entitled to apply to the city within three (3) years from the date of such sale and if timely application is made therefor, the city will pay the same to the owner without interest or other charges. No claim shall be made nor shall any suit, action or proceeding be initiated for the recovery of such funds after three (3) years from the date of such sale. This section shall not operate to deprive the city of other remedies available under law to obtain payment from the owner of unattended, abandoned or immobile vehicles for towing, storage or services rendered. (Code 1959, § 20-147; Ord. No. O-88-013, § 1, 1-26-88)
